When I first started baking I always went to stores that were near my 9-5 and it slowly got very expensive to run it this way. Then I discovered Amazon has 95% of everything that I may need to help create a little magic in the order and treats that we create - at very reasonable prices! Plus it went straight to my door instead of having to drive around and trying to find what I needed.
I will be posting my Top 5 Items that I have recently received that have been a GAME CHANGER in my Home Bakery.
TOP 5 NEW TOOLS
You can find almost ANY type of cookie cutters on Amazon but I have found that the Ann Clark Cookie Cutters are my FAVOURITE! So many options plus the quality is great! I just throw them in the dishwasher and they are good to go! Recently I made a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star themed treats for a baby shower and used these cutters!
Yes - when you click the link it does say meatball scoop BUT I found this was great for making even sized Cake Pops - especially being my first time making them. That is one of the things I LOVE about kitchen accessories - they can be sooooo versatile. This pack also comes in 2 sizes so you can figure out what your need is and go from there!
Making them the perfect size for Cake Pops - I opted for the smaller one for this particular order I had.
Which I think turned out great for this Twinkle Twinkle Little Star theme!
GAME CHANGER! So I originally ordered this to help with Valentine's Chocolate Strawberry orders but it did not arrive in time (one of the few things that was not apart of the 2 day Prime shipping). BUT who knew I would be getting my first Cake Pop order and would be needing it to create 40 Starry Cake Pops! This was amazing to have - you turn it on high when you put your melting chocolate/ candy (I choose one from Michaels - not affiliated - but I find it has the best out come the most often. Wilton does have their own melting chocolates - I just have not tried any yet.) You can start setting up everything else you would need and stirring every minute or so to make sure it is evenly melting. Within 3-5 minutes (depending how much you put it) it will be evenly melted and then you turn it to just warm and it will stay evenly melted until you are done your treats! PLUS it is silicone so the clean up is a BREEZE!
This one goes with my number 1 new Tool but I want to share a story with this one. So I borrowed a neighbors Cricut because I heard they could make stencils for cookies and cakes. I have very shaking hands - so writing on cakes and cookies is a no-go for me. It was definitely a learning curve to get a stencil to cut properly (I only knew of the stencil sheets from the baking section of Michaels) but eventually I got it to work - after buying her a new blade hah.
This led me to look into Stencil making and which Cricut would be best for my needs - which was really just stencil making - maybe eventually Cake Toppers. But the most important thing to find was the correct material to use in the machine to make sure it worked - which led to the 4 Mil Blank Mylar Stencil Sheets. These sheets check all the boxes when it came to reading up on stencils with cutting machines. This led to my number one new Tool choice.
This has slowly turned into a new obsession of mine. Cricuts are known for a lot of things but I feel like more bakers need to dive into the area of custom cookie and cake stencils! A lot of reviews and opinions online were very intimidating to get the biggest and fanciest machine that Cricut offers for any type of cutting project BUT I was on a budget and knew I had to find a way within that budget. The Cricut Joy Xtra does exactly what I need for Stencils - without having to buy any additional blades or mats. Plus if I do ever want to get into Cake Toppers - it does all that too. Yes it is smaller then some of the most known Cricuts but it is the perfect size for what I need!
These are just a few of my most recent purchases that have made making orders a lot more fun and easier - which allows me to put a little more sparkle and heart into each order.
Yes - this is an Affiliate Blog Post BUT all is true in how I use and like about a product posted here - never would I steer you wrong!
Let me know if there are any tools you use that you don't see here that have recently been a GAME CHANGER for you.
